at people still trying to discredit Applause even after being in the top ten for almost 9 weeks, going platinum, and still rising on the radio everyday. everybody has heard it .
Even if it remained in the top ten for fifteen weeks straight, the girls would still call it a flop because it didn't go #1 or do as well as Roar. That's just the way it is. No point in trying to prove that Applause is a hit anymore (even though it is)

It's not charting in the Top 10 in Spain, Japan and Germany on iTunes and it's still in the Top 10 on their official single charts thanks to physical sales.
